Consider adding nwbview

nwbview: Rust powered NWB viewer

Code: https://github.com/brainhack-ch/nwbview
Requires HDF5 1.12 or earlier. Cannot be built with HDF5 1.14

It looks like an HDF5 viewer with some added features

Screenshot from their README

In development. It took a little effort to get this to work. My setup (I don't have rust installed globally) is:

conda create --name nwbview --yes
conda activate nwbview
mamba install "hdf5<1.14" rust --yes
HDF5_DIR="/Users/rly/mambaforge/envs/nwbview/" RUSTFLAGS="-C link-args=-Wl,-rpath,$HDF5_DIR/lib" cargo install nwbview
cd /Users/rly/.cargo/bin
./nwbview

Hello, it's good to see NWBView here :)

The hdf5 interface is via the hdf5 Rust crate. When the hdf5 crate makes a new release, it will most likely support the hdf5 version 1.14.

The recent version of hdf5 seems to be supported by the hdf5-rust crate. It just hasn't released on Rust's package index yet.
